    Checking in to see how your tank is doing. Any new items or changes worth putting new pics on the thread?

    Thanks,
    Rick

    Tank is doing real good! I added an ocellaris clownfish last wednesday and I posted pictures, they are back on page 4.
    Thanks for the interest!

    Thanks for the update. I'm watching your tank and a couple others that I find interesting. The how to set up is what has me interested.

    Nice tank. Having a 55 myself, I enjoy looking at others. Give me ideas.

    As well, is that sunlight in the lower right hand corner?

    Thanks! Yes that is a little bit of sunlight in the corner, it gets just that little bit right as the sun goes down.

    A bit of an update here for ya'll. Tank has now been up and running for a month(where did that time go?!) and everything is going fine! I've had my clown for almost 2 weeks now, and he is doing great as well. Placed an order with John at reefcleaners for a small cuc to start of with. Recieved them yesterday, got them acclimated per his instructions and put them in the tank. They went to work immediately! Noticed a big difference this morning, they were busy over night! A big thanks to John for great quality product as well as excellent service!

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to post some pictures of my new additions that i picked up over the weekend. A bi color blenny and a small green clown goby. The blenny has taken up residence in a piece of rock that has three different holes he can poke his head through, he also evicts any snails that are cruising around his haunt which is pretty amusing to see! The goby is doing well, always perched on top of a rock and exploring his new surroundings. Picture quality is not the greatest with my iPod, but I did manage to snap one of the blenny out of his home. My clown also had to get his moment in front of the camera as well! Also had a snail go walkabout on me this morning, seen tracks going down the front glass of the tank, so I looked around on the floor and he was making his way up the side of a speaker we have on the floor! Crazy little guy!

    Tanks coming along nicely. Always good to see another 55 owner. :)

    Thanks! Everything has been going really good lately! I was thinking of getting a colony of zoas when I got the two new fish, but I didn't really have the extra 50$ on me, the colonies were real big and colorful, but I passed on em. It's hard for me to get anything locally without ordering or driving over 100 miles, as there is barely any lfs support here. Would like to find a small colony that is a bit cheaper, or find someone that I could get a frag from. Eventually I guess I'll have to breakdown and order something!!
